Raffia and Abaca Fabrics

Last Sunday I forgot to post this photos of assorted fabrics I took inside Bacolod Central Market. I went there first thing in the morning to buy Raffia fibers for Mabe's grass skirt that needs repair.

Abaca Mesh Fabric:

Sinamay Abaca Fiber:

Woven Raffia Fabrics:

Natural Twines, Knots and Ropes (there's some shells too):

Stuff for our homes:

Wide selection of wooden neck pieces:

There are lots of natural products inside Bacolod Central Market that saves a huge amount in our budget. All you need is courage to take the heat and dust (not to mention the safety of your purses).

I suggest you go and shop there early in the morning, just about the time they open when the whole dimly lit market is still calm and less chaotic, bring loose change, and have a shopping buddy with you. 

Here's what I got, this is what a Raffia fiber looked like. The costume is from three years ago, so the waistline doesn't fit Mabe anymore.

Have a great weekend everyone!
